Barcelona starlet to evaluate future next week, could leave with option to buy back

It has not been the best of debut seasons for Pablo Torre. The youngster, who was part of the starting eleven that slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Real Valladolid last night, has not enjoyed prominence in Xavi’s setup.

Barcelona have considered the possibility of loaning him out several times, even during the January transfer window. But the player has always been hesitant to leave and had the conviction to fight for his place in the first team.

However, with Torre seemingly falling behind in the pecking order, a new report from Cadena SER claims the Barcelona youngster and his entourage will evaluate the player’s future next week.

With the midfielder yet to even muster 500 minutes of competitive action this season, it is clear that Pablo require more game-time to prove himself at the highest level.

With that in mind, Torre will study his options next week. The player clearly wants to have more minutes at the top level, but that could be difficult at Barcelona, especially with Gavi’s contract now being ratified by La Liga.

The report suggests Barcelona could send Torre out on loan this summer. They may even look to sell him on a permanent deal, but would retain an option to buy the player back later in the future.

The latter option could be a rather disappointing end to Torre’s career at Barcelona, at least for now. The youngster had joined the club with a lot of promise, but he never quite received the opportunity to prove his worth at the top level.

However, all is not lost for the young Spaniard, who can still make an impression out on loan next season. Quite a few Barcelona stars such as Abde Ezzalzouli, Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti have excelled on loan spells this season, and there is no reason why Torre cannot follow the trend.
